2025 NBA/ABA Tournament of Champions: Group Play Round 4

We continue onward with our fourth round of games in the group stage of the NBA/ABA Tournament of Champions!

We had a pretty good drop from last round in terms of unbeaten teams; only 19 remain at this point. There are also still a large number of teams still looking for their first win. But this early in the tournament, anything can still happen.

After I mentioned it last time, we ended up almost getting the tournament's first quadruple-double via Wilt Chamberlain, who might be the most likely candidate to pull it off. We'll see if it ends up happening at some point before this is all said and done.

As we prepare for our next 40 game slate, standings, schedules, and scores for the tournament can be found here. All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Let's get to it!
